Johnson says 'great new deal' reached on Brexit, DUP says remains opposed

DUP says unable to support British PM Boris Johnson's proposed Brexit deal as is not in Northern Ireland's long-term interests

British lawmaker Steve Barclay, the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, waits to enter 10 Downing Street in London on October 17, 2019. British PM Boris Johnson and his 27 counterparts from across the EU converged on Brussels on Thursday for a summit they hope will finally lay to rest the acrimony and frustration of a three-year divorce fight.

"We've got a great new deal that takes back control," he wrote on Twitter, calling on lawmakers in London to approve the agreement at a rare sitting of parliament on Saturday. His ally, Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party remained opposed to the outline Brexit deal. The draft agreement was forged just weeks before Britain was due to leave the bloc on October 31, ending more than four decades of close economic and political ties with its nearest neighbours.
